/ansible_local_empty

My fact:

$ head /etc/ansible/facts.d/my.fact
[greeting]
message="Hi, Brian"

ansible_local is empty when accessed from role:

$ ansible-playbook -c local -i localhost, test-ansible-local.yml -v                                                                          
No config file found; using defaults
